Those that are seen,
are countless yet finite,
long gone and reborn as
Those that are unseen,
out of reach and obscured
but just waiting to
Shine,
bringing hope out of darkness,
sparking promise from despair
and illuminating the future with their
Light,
that envelopes and shields,
holds and protects
as all the while they
Guide,
giving direction and meaning,
safe harbour from the storms
that surround and threaten to
Dazzle,
blinding and hypnotizing,
overwhelming the careful
calm that allows you to
Watch,
waiting for the time
when their light meets yours
and the brightness showers you
With stars.

That’s beautiful, Sara. At the end I had an image of standing in the middle of nowhere under a meteor shower, like you see in the films. Just at one with the universe.
So looking forward to meeting you on Friday xxx
